BoxCast

BoxCast live streaming

BoxCast is revolutionizing how videos are streamed, as it makes it more affordable and easier to live stream HD-quality videos. All you need is an internet connection, a video source, and a BoxCaster, and you're all set and ready to live stream.

Its patent-pending technology also allows viewers to get a buffering-free experience even if there are a lot of viewers watching the live stream simultaneously. This technology is not just limited to streaming videos. It also creates a more flexible video experience with multiple ticketing, data integration, and privacy options right from the dashboard.

Getting started with BoxCast

WHAT DO YOU NEED TO GET STARTED?

All you need are internet access, a power source, and a video camera with RCA or HDMI cables.

DOES IT TAKE LONG TO GET EVERYTHING SET UP?

It doesn't take long at all. Just plug in the BoxCaster and configure the stream settings on the dashboard from any device. Lastly, copy and paste the embedded code on your website, and that's it. You can now stream.

DOES IT NEED ANY SPECIALIZED EQUIPMENT TO WORK?

There’s no need for any specialized equipment or computer, as you can access BoxCast from any device.

IS IT COMPLICATED TO SCHEDULE EVENTS?

Not at all. You simply need to start the time and event title. To finish scheduling the event, just click the 'schedule' button.

DO I NEED A PRODUCTION TEAM OR ADDITIONAL STAFF?

You can do it by yourself by strategically positioning the camera and scheduling the broadcast beforehand, or you can hire someone to man the camera or opt for a multi-camera setup.

IS THERE A LIMIT TO HOW LONG I CAN LIVE STREAM AN EVENT?

There's no limit to how long you can live stream your event.

ARE THE STREAMED VIDEOS RECORDED AND ARCHIVED?

Videos are recorded and archived so that those who missed the live stream can still view it.

CAN I BROADCAST MULTIPLE EVENTS SIMULTANEOUSLY?

With additional BoxCasters, you can broadcast multiple events from a single BoxCast account.

IS THERE A SPECIFIC NETWORK CONNECTION NEEDED?

A cellular (4G LTE) connection can be used, but a wired network connection is best for video streaming as it provides a more reliable connection.

Sharing events with viewers

There are several ways you can share your videos to your viewers, such as the following.

• Embed BoxCast's widget codes on your website to show an event one at a time. It's also possible to display all of your events to your viewers.
• Share the event by sharing the Twitter and Facebook sharing widgets.
• Keep an event private and just send out invitations to certain viewers who you want to see your broadcast.

You can share your events or invite as many people as you want to view your broadcasts, as there is no limit to the number of viewers who can watch your videos at the same time. And, no matter how many viewers you have, there will be no annoying ads or buffering to distract them while viewing your content.

Additionally, BoxCast's system is self-correcting, but it's also monitored remotely to ensure its smooth operation. The system detects what mobile device your viewers are using, as well as the quality of video streaming they are getting. It then makes necessary adjustments to the bit rate so that they get the best viewing experience.
